Steamboat Springs St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations

Steamboat Springs’ St. Patrick’s Day celebration begins early with a St. Patrick’s themed concert featuring The Tartan Terrors, billed as “Riverdance meets Saturday Night Live” in its advertising. The Thursday, March 15^th show starts at 7pm and is part of the Steamboat Springs’ Strings Music Festival Series.

Steamboat Springs’ authentic Irish pub, the new McKnight’s in Wildhorse Plaza, is having a 3 day countdown to St. Patrick’s Day that began this morning with breakfast specials including a free pancake breakfast from 7am-8am. With morning, afternoon and evening specials through St. Patrick’s Day weekend, McKnight’s will be the place to wear your green and join the festivities while watching March Madness. It’s close to the Steamboat Ski Mountain – perfect for an après ski stop.

Not to be outdone, the Steamboat Ski Mountain will host two events to go along with spring skiing conditions on the ski mountain.  On Saturday, March 17th at 3:00pm in Gondola Square See-I will perform a free concert as part of the Bud Light Rocks the Boat series. Then starting at 8:00pm the final torchlight parade and fireworks of the season will light up the Steamboat Springs’ ski mountain.

Of course there will be plenty of St. Patrick’s Day specials at the restaurants and shops in downtown Steamboat Springs as well. Ski in spring-like conditions, and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day Steamboat Springs style with activities all around town and the ski mountain.
